- W2417308052 abstract "My concern in this chapter is to start an exploratory analysis of the newspaper obituaries of academics. The ways of seeing such documents of life are many and varied. My own formative approach to this aspect of the media was indebted in part to John Eldridge, particularly for his sensitive understanding of the power-soaked nature of mass communications. But in dissecting obituaries I argue that we need other theoretical resources as well. Here I have drawn particularly on Halbwachs as the theorist of social memory and Bourdieu as the theorist of distinction and canon formation, reinforcing the approach taken in my earlier book on obituaries (Fowler 2007). Further, to address academics’ obituaries I argue that we need to understand Bourdieu’s Homo Academicus and The State Nobility as responses to Kant and Mannheim. This theoretical paving of the way is then followed by a content analysis of contemporary academics’ obituaries, highlighting the unusual character of these obituaries as an unreciprocated gift exchange. Under Bourdieu’s auspices, as it were, we note that these are fields whose actors have relatively privileged social origins but also troubles, springing either from the wider geopolitical clashes of power or from the field itself. I conclude by noting that many of these obituaries signal the dangers to intellectual autonomy within current university structures." @default.
